Happiness is having a Tail

I was at the petstore today buying cat litter, and saw the HAPPIEST DOG
EVER. Everytime he (she?) looked at someone, huge waves of happiness
would shoot out and he would wag his tail so furiously that his
entirely rear end shook and his paws would skid! I was very impressed,
and thought that it wouldn't be such a bad thing to be more like that
dog.

When I got home, my cats were very happy to see me, and spent some time
dancing in front of me, tails very high in the air. You can tell how
confident and happy a cat is entirely by the posture of the tail. I
think I read that cats don't have facial muscles they can move (I think
dogs do) so it's all about the tail.

Tails are very important to animals. Humans don't have tails, so I
guess we just have to smile so much that our bodies shake with glee. I
don't think I've ever smiled quite like that, but it's something to
shoot for this year!

This is absolutely awesome!
Reading this, I already feel like wagging something, maybe I'll go hold
a fork or spoon and wag it in front of me!!!

Very cool.

I was just thinking about how people used to have hand fans, and they
probably could wave them in interesting ways! In some Chinese
historical dramas, they use fans either open or closed to express
themselves.

Large lollypops are good for wagging too.

Tonight I was at a group meeting, and whenever someone would come in I
would wave a big cheery wagging kind of wave. I also hugged all the
women, and would telegraph the hug by holding one hand high and one
low. I'm not sure why that was, actually, maybe it signified a range of
hugs were available? It didn't work when I had to hug a very tall
woman...couldn't reach high enough! It would have been so much easier
with a tail (I could do without the sniffing though :-)
